Daily 2 Cents: ET 'Face' Appears on Previous Abduction Mark -- Strange Darkness Blankets Siberia -- Earhart's Final Cries For Help
ET 'Face' Appears on Previous Abduction Mark
Alabama - 2018-02-28 - 18:00: During childhood, I experienced an otherworldly encounter which literally left a mark. This mark is oval in shape and purplish in color - located on my left leg, above my ankle. On February 28 of this year, a hologram-like image of an extraterrestrial face was photographed emanating from the mark, onto my leg (directly above the mark). I have included the photos below (removed by MUFON). The mark can be seen at the bottom of the picture, with the entity's face above it. If the mark doesn't appear exactly oval in the picture, it's because it changes shape (which can only be seen when light is focused on it). Otherwise, it appears oval. The entity has both human and animal-like features, appears to be smiling or grinning, and is looking off to the side. I appreciate the weirdness of this report, but I feel that I should report the experience. Do with it what you will. - MUFON

Tick-Borne Disease Soaring
As pests go, ticks score bonus points on the fear chart for being bloodsuckers, tucking themselves behind ears or ducking under armpits.
But unlike most spiders and other crawlies in the woods, these eight-legged parasites pose real danger, even death in rare cases.
In 2013, 6-year-old Emilee Russell from Black Mountain died of Rocky Mountain spotted fever — the result of a tick bite.
North Carolina often leads the nation in Rocky Mountain spotted fever cases, with 674 reported in 2017 — a 5 percent increase over 2016, according to the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services.
But bites from ticks in North Carolina can also lead to ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease and STARI, which stands for Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness. Lyme disease reports also ramped up to 363 in 2017, rising 10 percent, DHHS reports. Read more at Tick-borne disease is soaring

Strange Darkness Blankets Siberia
Locals in north of Yakutia said daylight was completely gone for several hours.
People from remote Eveno-Bytantaisky and Zhigansky districts turned to newspapers, begging local media to explain ‘the devilry’ of what happened.
Their remote communities were plunged into darkness - even though they should have 24 hour light at this time of year.
‘The sun went out around 11am, and didn’t come back until about 2pm. I couldn’t see a thing without switching lights on. We took torches to walk outside, but actually no-one wanted to be on the street because the feeling was as if something heavy in the air was pressing on your chest’, said one resident.
After the sun returned, locals found thick layer of dust covering everything outside. Read more at Sun blanked out in Arctic Siberia

Earhart's Final Cries For Help
Amelia Earhart waded into the Pacific Ocean and climbed into her downed and disabled Lockheed Electra.
She started the engine, turned on the two-way radio and sent out a plea for help, one more desperate than previous messages.
The high tide was getting higher, she had realized. Soon it would suck the plane into deeper water, cutting Earhart off from civilization — and any chance of rescue.
Across the world, a 15-year-old girl listening to the radio in St. Petersburg, Fla., transcribed some of the desperate phrases she heard: “waters high,” “water’s knee deep — let me out” and “help us quick.”
A housewife in Toronto heard a shorter message, but it was no less dire: “We have taken in water . . . we can’t hold on much longer.” Read more at Dozens heard Amelia Earhart’s final, chilling pleas for help, researchers say

Incident Above Earth
I recently received the following account:
I don't know where to begin and, honestly, I'm hesitant to even bring it up. But I believe there should be a record of my experience. I don't want any notoriety. Nothing like that. I don't want to ever speak about it again, because it scares me so much. This is the truth as best as I can recollect.
My experience occurred in the first week of June 2018 near Naples, FL. I went to sleep around 11 PM in a room with a friend, who was sleeping in a bed next to mine. We were sharing a hotel room. I go to sleep. Nothing unusual.
Then suddenly I woke in what seemed like a hospital room. The first thing I noticed was I was laying on what appeared to be a hospital bed. I immediately assumed I'm in a hospital. As I realize there is no way I could be in a hospital I began to look around. I notice the walls of the room have a dark metallic color. This freaked me out because I know hospital rooms have bright colors and do not have metal walls. I was trying to understand where I was and the more things I noticed, the more disoriented and scared I became.
I then glanced to my right and I saw 2 people dressed in white attire. Then near my feet 2 more. Then to my left a person sitting in a chair beside my bed. My attention was concentrated on the person in the chair. I soon realized I was unable to move, almost like sleep paralysis. I would describe it as like being in a coma, but with complete mental awareness. I could see and hear everything around me.
The person in the chair was a human female. At least that is what she looked like. I was frightened. I remember her telling me to stay calm and it would all be over soon. She then pushes a needle into my left arm; like an IV needle but different. The needle required no tape to hold it in place, which was weird. The needle was an odd metal that gave off a strange luster. Her telling me to stay calm, to me, meant I was screwed. I was beginning to panic.
One of the 'people' standing at the bottom of the bed was holding a LED-like light on a long wire. I was told that it was used to 'decipher' who I was. The light was placed on the sole of my left foot. I didn't feel any pain, but suddenly blacked out.
I woke in the same room, not knowing how much time had passed. I was alone. Soon, someone came into the room (I never saw a door) and I began to move. I assume I walked out of the room and was now in a hallway. On one side was a dark metal flat wall. I noticed a door. I opened it and was in a room very similar to the one I was in before. I close the door and start walking down another hallway in the opposite direction. I pass many more rooms identical to what I just came out of.
I eventually reached an area with a giant window. Maybe 20 feet tall and 50 feet wide. I approached the window and saw the clouds and surface of Earth; thinking we're in orbiting the planet. I then knew I had been abducted and was in a craft of some type. I again started to panic. I looked around me and observed humanoids walking by me. But these were not human. They had olive-colored skin that appeared wet, but actually dry like that of a reptile. The faces had human features, but more ethnic. I then noticed what appeared to be 'gills' on each side of their faces. It was a startling sight; like their cheeks had been sliced open. They are quite tall, about 7 ft. or so and muscular. They wore no clothes or uniforms, but I couldn't tell if they were of any gender.
I approached one of the beings and asked 'is this real?' It grabbed my arm and glared at me with its golden-colored eyes. The next thing I remember was waking up on the bedroom floor in my apartment in Miami; not the hotel room near Naples! I believe I went into shock. I was suddenly sick to my stomach and shivering. I looked where the needle had been inserted into my arm and there was a small scab. I looked at the clock; it was 11:10 AM, but I was unsure what day it was. I felt exhausted and wanted to do nothing but sleep. It turned out that I had about 36 hours of lost time. I also had a painful bruise on the sole of my left foot, where the light object touched me.
I later contacted the friend I shared the hotel room with. They said that when they woke, I was gone; but my bed had been made. All of my personal property, my wallet and phone, were gone as well. They said that they called me but it immediately went to voice mail. There were no messages on my phone.
I have no idea what happened, but my life has changed. I have suffered extreme anxiety for no apparent reason, other than I feel that they may abduct me in the future. JJ
NOTE: I contacted 'JJ' by phone. He seems very forthright, but was hesitant to discuss more personal details. He has been under a physician's care for anxiety since the incident. Lon

Daily 2 Cents: Entity 'Talked' Through Stuffed Parrot -- Oregon Coast Shaking -- 'Blood Moon' Prophecy?
Entity 'Talked' Through Stuffed Parrot
“I should probably send this or post it via email but here's something that happened to me when I was about 3 or 4. 1st of all, I have a pretty clear memory of my childhood. I can remember getting stitches on my head at 2 and other things. This happened between 3 and 4 years old. I recently just laid down in my bed to take a nap. Not long after I heard a high pitched sort of ringing sound like "shhheeeeeeeeennnnn" (sort of how you'd imagine a samurai sword being unsheathed sound FX) then at the foot of my bed a glowing ball of light (what looked like glowing liquid mercury) appeared. I heard, 'Don't be scared'. The funny thing is I had this stuffed parrot and the ball of light made its beak move when he spoke. It was a warm male voice from what I recall. Anyways it talked for a while. I have the impression that it was giving me instructions of sorts. When it finished the only thing I can remember him saying was 'You will remember this at a later time. Do you understand?' And I replied awkwardly, 'Oohhhhhkaaaaay' thinking 'Wow this is weird' with a sort of half smile on my face. It vanished instantly afterwards. I've always remembered this odd encounter just not what the entity was telling me. I figure I'll remember when the time is right. I've also had experienced sudden missing time but that's another less pleasant story.” - SeanPMLeviathen

Oregon Coast Shaking
Seven earthquakes ranging from 3.2 to 5.6 magnitudes were reported off Oregon's southern coast Tuesday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quakes, on average, were clustered about 126 miles west of Crescent City, California. No tsunami warnings were announced.
Don Blakeman, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center, said the magnitudes haven't yet been serious, adding that quakes of this caliber occur fairly often off the coast.
Though the 5.6, which happened at 7:44 a.m., qualifies as a moderate earthquake, the impacts would be more significant if it had occurred on land rather than 10 kilometers under the sea, Blakeman said. Read more at Series of morning quakes off southern Oregon coast includes a 5.6

'Blood Moon' Prophecy?
The longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century takes place this Friday, July 27.
The total phase of the "blood moon" eclipse of July 27 will last 1 hour and 43 minutes, during which Earth's natural satellite will turn a spectacular red or ruddy-brown color. From start to finish, the entire celestial event will last nearly 4 hours.
The eclipse won't be visible to viewers in North America, except via webcasts. But observers in much of Africa, the Middle East, southern Asia and the Indian Ocean region will get an eyeful, given cooperative weather, according to lunar scientist Noah Petro, of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Screwing With the Endangered Species Act
The Interior Department on Thursday proposed the most sweeping set of changes in decades to the Endangered Species Act, the law that brought the bald eagle and the Yellowstone grizzly bear back from the edge of extinction but which Republicans say is cumbersome and restricts economic development.
The proposed revisions have far-reaching implications, potentially making it easier for roads, pipelines and other construction projects to gain approvals than under current rules. One change, for instance, would eliminate longstanding language that prohibits considering economic factors when deciding whether or not a species should be protected.
The agency also intends to make it more difficult to shield species like the Atlantic sturgeon that are considered “threatened,” which is the category one level beneath the most serious one, “endangered.” Read more at Law That Saved the Bald Eagle Could Be Vastly Reworked

Freaked Out by a Shadow Being
Youtube personality and low-budget movie star Ryan Higa speaking on the 'Off The Pill Podcast' discussed the topic of ghosts and an experience he had in 2010 while staying Alhambra, California:
“I would put myself under unsure. I would lean toward more towards yes than unsure because also I don't trust sometimes my own mind. This was very visual. In fact I can tell this story because it I don't know... let's say can I tell this... it's not that scary. I mean, I could be saying anything. You guys don't have to believe me but this is the story.
We were shooting 'Agents of Secret Stuff' so whatever year that was. We just had finished that. I was staying at Phil (Philip Wang, director) and Wes' (Wesley Chan, director) house. They were living together in Alhambra, California. Wong Fu Productions. While we were filming, I was living with them because I was... I lived in Vegas, so I was staying with them for a couple weeks. And we had just finished 'Agents of Secret Stuff'...I'm gonna guess 2010 (Production notes state the film was shot over the span of a week in 2010). I was staying on their couch. They both had rooms upstairs. Their couch was downstairs so we're in Alhambra at their apartment and it was about, I'm gonna guess, 2:30 or 3:00 o'clock AM... 3 AM and I was just on my computer on their couch, just, I don't know, doing whatever, probably on Facebook or whatever, and then I'm lying on their couch... I'm trying to paint this room for you. So say this is the couch. I'm lying here and then they have a sliding door right here (behind it) so this is the back of the couch. I'm lying on it they have a sliding door right here behind the couch.
So it's all dark. It's 3:00 AM and the only light that's coming into the room is from the streetlights which is like a yellowish light coming from the street outside. Vertical blinds that are all open. They're like all the way spread out across the sliding door but they're all opened and not closed so the light is still coming in. At some point I just caught something at the side of my eye, so obviously I just looked and normally when you have, like, you know, scary things, scary things happen, you kind of look and they're gone. This time when I looked, I just saw like a silhouette, right, and it's walking by so I thought somebody was walking by, you know, by the house and I thought, 'Well that's weird, it's like 3:00 AM. Why would somebody be walking by?' That's kind of sketchy but the weirder thing is it looked like it was on the inside, so it was like a very dark shadowy figure and it looked like it was on the inside because it was blocking, but it was in front of the light. It was blocking the light. And basically what really scared me was this thing walked across the sliding door and behind it as if his hand was out like this (extends hand at side) the blinds were moving with it.
Then, this is the crazier thing, I thought maybe this could be the wind. At the time I wasn't thinking. I started thinking after the fact. It turned around, right. This figure turned around and walked the other way and the blinds started going the other way. They started clashing because it was like going one way and they start going the other way and then that's when I freaked out. It looked like a very tall dark figure with kind of longer hair. I'm assuming a guy. It was kind of a shadow but you could kind of see features. It was really... it was still dark but you could kind of see like clothing features but it was so dark that it was just like a dark figure. It was the old street light color and it was in front of it so it's kind of silhouetted and I'm looking directly at it. There was like a pathway like they're enclosed in their own thing like it wasn't on the street. There's no way on someone in the complex was walking by but that's beside the point because it was on the inside. The blinds were moving one way as if he was touching the blinds like this and walking by, he turned around and then it looked like as if he walked or like his shoulder or something was hitting it and it went the other way.
That's when I started freaking because I heard the sound of the blinds. It was completely silent (in the room). I didn't hear footsteps. I just saw this thing walking one way, turn around and then the blinds started clashing. I could hear the blinds. That's what freaked me out more than anything. Not even seeing it, just the sound of the blinds is what freaked me out and at that moment, after that happened, because I'm literally looking at it not understanding what I'm seeing but when I heard the blinds that's when I freaked out. I put the blanket over my head. I had my laptop. Up to that I didn't believe in ghosts. I used to go ghost hunting in Hawaii with Sean. They'll tell you, we used to go to all the most haunted places. I never heard or saw anything. That was my natural reaction.
I picked up my phone which was near my laptop, which is on my lap. I put the bag over my head and I called Phil and I said, 'You need to come down here right now!' And, like, maybe, like, I don't know how long it took him, he came down and turned on the lights. Thank God. He turned on the lights, came down the stairs. He was like super tired. It was late at night. I start to get up. I was about to tell him what I just saw and he said, 'I don't want to know. Don't tell me. I don't want to know. I have to live here.' And then I just, that was the last we spoke about it. I went upstairs with Phil. I took my blanket. I sound like such a little poon right now but yeah. You would freak out if that happened to you. I did. So this is why I said 'unsure' because I was extremely tired. I could have been, like, I wasn't, like, drinking. I wasn't doing any of that. I was just very tired because we just finished a really long shoot so this is why I say I'm unsure because I was very tired.”

Daily 2 Cents: Michalak Friend Irradiated by Unknown Entity in 2016! -- Huge Feline-Like Cryptid -- There is a 'Higher Power'
Michalak Friend Irradiated by Unknown Entity in 2016!
Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba, Canada - 2016-11-30 00:00: My husband went to bed slightly before me, he was on the far side of the bed facing towards my side and the door. I came to bed slightly after him. I lay down and closed my eyes. I reopened my eyes as I had an uneasy feeling and saw a grey entity standing beside my husband. I immediately closed my eyes tight as I was so scared. I re-opened my eyes to ensure that I had saw what I had saw. It was still standing beside my husband looking at us. I was not dreaming as I had just lay down. I kept my eyes closed and went to sleep shortly after. Both of us slept thru the night which is totally unusual for both of us and we woke up feeling very refreshed. Shortly after this encounter my husband's hair began falling out in patches all over his head and his hair went very grey with a broad grey streak down the top center of his head. I also lost a significant amount of hair from my head but mostly top center of my head. I did not get patches like my husband.
The bald patches on my husbands head did not grow in for several months and then started to grow in. After the encounter my husband was almost totally grey-haired. I have pictures of him after. Slowly his patches began growing back in but the new hair was totally dark brown with little or no grey. His remaining hair started growing out dark brown. At this time his hair is almost pure dark brown as it was before the encounter but his beard remains white.
We discussed the encounter with each other and feel that we were likely affected by radiation from the entity and we may have been abducted and returned.
My husband George worked with Steve Michalak (The Falcon Lake Incident) and observed the burns that he had received at Falcon Lake. He knew Steve to be a totally honest and upstanding man. He totally believes that Steve saw what he claimed to have seen and that he was badly injured by radiation burns from the UFO. We live approx. 125 km from where Steve was burnt at Falcon Lake. My husband's time with Steve totally convinced him UFOs are coming to earth. - MUFON

Huge Feline-Like Cryptid
“I once saw an animal that jumped in front of my car and EASILY loped...not full run...in front of my car as I was doing 45 to 55 in Milwaukee. Looked feline, but HUGE. And as f--k, cause, as I mentioned I was doing 45 to 55 and it suddenly hit get away speed and it was just gone. Gone. It was a beautiful animal, but not normal. Just saying. It was like it slipped into our space and then slipped back. It was sandy colored, lighter underbelly, I'd estimate from tail to nose, minimum 12 feet, small head for its body, I'd estimate about at least 3 feet at shoulder, but hard to tell cause it was in full lope mode. My testimony.” - Ron Winters

There is a 'Higher Power'
Mormon Lake, AZ - 1986-07-10 - 19:15:
1. Out camping.
2. Odd lights to the south, flying low over horizon.
3. Thought they were helicopter lights but no known flight path out that way, military?
4. All of a sudden they were all around me. Small basketball-sized floating orbs. From seeing them in the distance, say at least 10 miles away, to having them all around me was a second or 2 at the most. They floated around me, I yelled, "ok MF's", as I readied myself for a fight, "lets get it on". The next thing I remembered, at that time, was waking up the next morning. We were fully clothed, laying on our sleeping bags, (which were in the tent the night before). We were to be out camping for another week at least. Instead, we woke up, didn't speak to each other, packed up camp and went home. Very very strange.
5.Later I went to a college and took a writing course. The instructor had us do some free writing and this all came out. I am remembering things even now. I spoke with them on a ship of some sort. It was transparent inside, meaning you could see out in all directions. The sides and top, bottom, etc. like riding in a glass elevator. Feeling no movement. They were friendly and answered my questions. They read my mind I guess. I asked about a higher power in the (no human word applicable) cosmos, for lack of a better word. They said 'yes' but they didn't know what it was. That interaction with them, the little guys, just came back to me a few months ago. I feel the need to share this but as you may imagine, this is a bit out of my league. Maybe you could get back with me? There is a lot more but the main point is yes, there is a higher power. Thanks, Brian - MUFON

Menacing Bigfoot in Kentucky
I received a telephone call from the witness 'JB' On Saturday July 21, 2018 at 2:37 AM ET:
The witness 'JB' and his 13-year-old son were returning home from fishing at Bennett's Paylake in Bullitt County, Kentucky (24 hour fishing permitted). It was approximately 10:30 PM ET on Friday night July 20th. They were driving in their pickup, and had just turned onto Highway 44.
Then the witness' son yelled out that something large and on 2 legs was running along side of the truck on the passenger side. It was keeping pace with the truck and was about 30 foot off the road in a field. When they reached the nearest driveway, JB slammed on the brakes and turned the truck around, attempting to drive back and see what whatever it was his son had described.
As they started to head back on the highway, a large hairy bi-pedal creature stepped out of a wooded gully along the road (near Applegate Run) and stood in front of the truck. It was illuminated by the headlights...approximately 10 foot away from the witnesses. They immediately noticed an awful sickening stench in the air (described as smelling like 'old roadkill'). The creature was 8-9 ft. in height and very broad at the shoulders, possibly 5 ft in width. The body was covered in reddish-brown thick hair, though the face was hairless with dark leathery skin. The body had well-defined muscles that were observed moving under the hair. The eyes shined a red tint. It had a menacing look and deposition, and emanated 'low whooping sounds'...similar to grunts.
The witness always carried a sidearm with him, and he reached for it. He extended the gun out of his window and yelled for the creature to 'stay away.' The reaction of the creature was that it recognized the gun and immediately became alarmed, producing louder 'whooping sounds' and taking a more aggressive stance...leering directly at JB.
By this time, JB's son was mortified and started to scream. JB then fired a warning shot above the creature, and it quickly headed off into the nearby woods. Fearing it would come back from behind them and attack, JB slammed on the accelerator and quickly turned the truck around...speeding down the highway towards home. His residence was less than a 1/2 mile from the location of the incident.
A few hours later, JB found my witness report information on Google and gave me a call. Quite honestly, he was one of the most terrified witnesses I have ever talked to...exclaiming that he had no idea what this 'thing' was and that he grew up in the outdoors, never witnessing anything like that before! I could hear the phone rattling in his hands, and his voice continuously breaking. He said 'I'm never going fishing or hunting again!'
After I was able to explain to JB that I believe that he may have encountered a Bigfoot, and that I had also seen a similar being in 1981, he recounted an incident that his neighbor had experienced. Apparently a large creature had been visiting the neighbor's yard the previous summer and had triggered the motion detectors. The neighbor had caught a fleeting glance of the creature as it exited towards the woods, but the description was not of a being comparable in size.
The location of this encounter was in an area just south of Louisville, KY. Bullitt County is known for a number of Bigfoot reports over the years.

Daily 2 Cents: Abduction, Implants & Trauma -- Dogman? Doubtful... -- 'Genie' Possession at University
Abduction, Implants & Trauma
Idaho - 2018-03-01 - 00:00: Abduction from home. Lost time. Next day my whole back was frozen. I could not walk and top of wrist a lump appeared. I grew up in Glendora, California and that is when abductions began.
Went decades with no signs of abductions until recently. I was told (By someone? Vague memory) that it is an organic tracking device in my wrist. My back has repaired. The chiropractor said I was in a car accident. Trauma to my back and muscles. No car accident occurred. The pain in wrist is gone and the lump is still there.
I have no more memory, but I am an intuitive and was surprised by my guides letting me know that I was a child abductee.
As a child in Glendora I always feared when a round light circle appeared in my bedroom. Not sure if anyone else is having the same experience? Thank, Robyn - MUFON

Chicago Named US 'Rat Capital'
CHICAGO (CBS) — A new study names Chicago the rat capital of the U.S.
According to a study by the apartment search service “Rent Hop,” the city received 50,963 rat complaints last year – more than any other city in the country.
New York came in a distant second place, followed by Washington, D.C., and Boston.
The study also found the number of rat complaints jumped 55% since 2014.
Logan Square, Englewood, and West Ridge topped the list for most rat complaints called in to 3-1-1.
The study claims “when comparing the number of complaints per 100,000 residents, Chicago topped the list with 1876.09 complaints per 100,000 residents.” Read more at Chicago Named The ‘Rat Capital’ Of The U.S., Study Says

Dogman? Doubtful...
A man was left in shock after spotting what he describes as a 'dogman' - a 6ft half man-half dog creature running through the woods.
Scott Carpenter was walking when he saw the dark coloured beast and decided to start filming.
He used computer software and stabilisation tools on his own video to slow down the frantic action and he claims it shows "creepy details" about the "odd creature".
In the footage the apparent 'dogman' moves quickly through the thick undergrowth before disappearing from view. Read more w/ video at Terrified man films strange encounter with 6ft 'half man-half dog' after spotting mystery beast in woods

'Genie' Possession at University
A peaceful Mathematics lecture at the Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS) ended in confusion, following a strange display by a 200-Level female student.
The girl, said to have been possessed, lost her consciousness and put up strange displays. She was also said to have spoken incomprehensibly.
Immediately she started her display, she was surrounded by her colleagues, who rushed her out of PTF Lecture Hall where they were having MAT 207 class.
Rather than taking her to the school clinic, she was laid in front of the lecture hall where a student recited Arabic verses to heal her. After some minutes, the victim regained her consciousness. Read more at ‘Possessed’ student disrupts lecture

Red Toothy Humanoid Appears in the Night
"This is my story. This is in full detail and as much info I can give. I hope you enjoy and I hope there are answers. It was election night 2016, (this is not a sh*tty political joke, this is a legit story) and I was laying in bed, and about to sleep. I was praying as I usually do every night (before I lost faith) and I was laying on my side, facing the wall. I finished praying and I begun to slowly sing under my breath to myself as I occasionally did while going to sleep. While I was singing, I got a feeling like I was being watched, and I heard something from behind me. I turned over to see what it was.
When I turned over, I saw something that I just couldn't believe, and I sat up quickly in order to stay aware. I saw in the middle of my room, squatting by my doorway, a humanoid figure. It had red leathery skin, It was apparently male as it was shirtless and had no breasts, it had no eyes where it should've had eyes. It had these raised ridges of skin vertically up and down it's upper face where it's eyes should be. It had no ears, instead it had holes like snake ears in the side of it's head, and they had these curves like normal ears, but instead it was inverted inside of the head and not out of the head. It had these large hands with black nails like a dog would have, it had huge feet with 4 toes on each, again with large black nails. It also had no genitals, and instead a scar where the male genitalia should've been, like it had been removed somehow.
I was panicking and I pinched myself to make sure I was asleep, and to no avail, I didn't wake up. I was looking at the creature, and I noticed it was 'looking' vacantly in front of it, and then it turned and 'looked' at me, and it tilted it's head like a dog, and it smiled. I'll also add it did not have lips, so it had a joker like smile, with these odd, inhuman like teeth. It then did something that I still don't understand, it went invisible, as in, it turned invisible but I could still see the 'distortion' where it was, like the invisibility effect like in Halo or Fallout (video games). I could see this distortion slowly begin to move towards me, and I saw the carpeting in the room shift as it walked on top of it (keep this in memory). It got close to the bed and I started to sweat with fear, and clutched my blanket with a strong grip. My bed all of a sudden, shifted as if something had sat on top of it, and the blankets started to be pulled by an invisible force. At this point, I began yelling and kicking the air, and it vanished, and I never saw it since.
I left the room afterwards to do something else because at that point I didn't feel like sleeping. I considered the possibilities of what it could've been, because I am naturally a skeptic and I always look into everything that happens so I can disprove/prove the existence of something:
1: I was fully awake and I could move, so it wasn't sleep paralysis.
2: I locked my doors and windows as anyone does in their own home, so it couldn't have been a human entering with a strange costume (unless a door was opened etc).
3: This was a long time ago, and I think about this moment every day, and I always recall the same details and etc, I even wrote this down a year after it happened, so if it was a dream, it would've become more vague and harder to remember as time went on.
4: The blankets were still where it was when the creature moved them.
5: The carpet still had footprints and imprints from where it "invisibly" moved towards me. I hope you all enjoyed, I know this sounds batsh*t crazy but this was my experience, and I still wonder what it could've been, I've researched slightly and I've only told a few about it, so I don't know what it could've been. Thanks." - Ethan Caudle

Daily 2 Cents: Anomalous 'Fire Bird' Observed Near Yellowstone -- Sharks vs. Gators -- Floating Multi-Colored Box
Anomalous 'Fire Bird' Observed Near Yellowstone
A strange colorful bird has been spotted on the Grand Teton National Park live webcam just days after a highly popular area near Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park located near the Yellowstone National Park has been closed to the public for the immediate future due to concerns over expanding cracks and fissures in a large rock formation.
While Yellowstone seems to be in a perpetual state of unrest with its Steamboat geyser that has erupted for the 11th time since March and now the expanding cracks and fissures at the Grand Teton National Park the appearance of this colorful bird that resembles the mythological fire bird is at least odd.
The fire bird also called as a phoenix is a sacred fire bird found in the mythologies of many cultures and described as a large magical glowing bird with majestic plumage that glows brightly emitting red, orange, and yellow light, like a bonfire that is just past the turbulent flame.

Sharks & Gators Go Tooth-to-Tooth Along Space Coast
MELBOURNE, Fla. – At NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the cradle of man's most sophisticated technological feats, something beastly, reptilian, primal in nature lurks motionless among the salt marsh and mangrove swamps.
Nearby, another primitive creature glides through the shallows, its pointed tail propelling the ocean's apex predator toward a brutal Darwinian dance in which the most powerful jaw, quickest strike and the thickest skin often wins this war: shark versus gator.
The two seldom meet. When they do, their dance is no waltz in the national park. It can get ugly – and bloody – real quick at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, a 140,000 acre overlay of the Kennedy Space Center.

Floating Multi-Colored Box
“I keep an open mind. When I was about 4 or 5 I was staying at my great grandparent's house for a week over the summer. One night there was a storm and as the house was old, the windows rattled and strong gusts of wind made things in the room shake. It creeped me out as I was young and started to get upset. I looked out the window and it was dark. All of a sudden this small box thing, about the size of a microwave came floating through the tree. It was multi-colored and then at one point it looked like a TV screen. It looked as of there was a cartoon on and it looked like an audience of people watching a clown juggling on a unicycle on a stage. The people and the clown were all black silhouettes...my heart just started pounding and I looked away for a second and then when I looked back it had gone back to multi-colors and disappeared in the distance as if it was shrinking at the same time. I knew this because it was still close by the time it disappeared. I put myself back in bed and just lay there confused as it was like a dream but I wasn't asleep. I was wide awake. My gran came up and I tried to explain to her what I saw. She told me I was being silly and offered me a warm drink to help me sleep. I forgot about it after that night but I've told a few people over the years and have put it down to a vivid child imagination. Who knows, the memory of what I saw is still pretty clear and never seen anything like it since.” - Keileigh Mather

Bright Yellow Light / Implants
Toronto, Ontario, Canada - 2016-06-13 - 01:45: While i was staying at the women's shelter couldn't sleep. So i went to the lounge that is on the 4th floor to watch TV. Something caught my attention and I started to look out the window. I saw a bright yellow light coming from somewhere. As I looked to see where it was coming from, the light was coming from a condo directly across from the lounge at the shelter. This continued until the couple pulled the curtain closed. This continued the whole time I was at the shelter. To investigate this event a woman will have go to the shelter with their cell phone to see it. I went to the UFO Expo looking for help to remove the implants that I discovered I have. I want them removed and researched. I sometimes wake up with another one; I heard from 2 people at the Expo that there is a doctor that does removals in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. - MUFON

American Chupacabras? Or Just a Mangy Dog?
(Fairbault, MN) – It certainly is a sight to see, and it’s captured the attention of those in Faribault and beyond in recent days.
A video taken near the District One Hospital this week shows the animal burying the remains of road kill which it had eaten.
The animal has been in the area for weeks. The consensus is that it’s a red fox with mange, but others have suggested it may be an expensive breed of dog, a cousin to a kangaroo, or joked that maybe it’s an American Chupacabra.

Screams on the Mountain
An anonymous listener (she asked Dave Schrader to not say her name) shared a bizarre story:
“In 1975, a ski resort opened about an hour from the Twin Cities next to the St. Croix River. It was not huge and it sat in a sparsely populated area in Minnesota. It was new and it was in an age when there was no cellphones or Ipods. All the kids in the school wanted to go there. I joined our school ski club and we went every Thursday. Often enough that I got to know the owner and would talk to him about skiing and sometimes ski with him. In 1977 I joined the navy and went away. Whenever I got leave and came home, it was winter time. I would go to the resort and ski. Each time I would renew my friendship with the owner and join him on the trails to ski until closing time.
One winter I came home and as usual decided to go to the resort. This was a Wednesday. My sister, niece and one of her friends asked to come with me so we made a night of it. When we arrived at the resort I found myself behind the rental counter. We talked for awhile then I made my way to the slopes. The owner was off the skis because of a neck injury so I was skiing alone. It was an off night with hardly anyone at the resort. There were no schools or classes scheduled for that night. It was about 10 degrees with light snow and a slight wind. I thought I would get bored with the skiing but it was fun and time passed quickly. It was the last trip down before I knew it and what I thought was the end of a good day. I returned to the chalet and searched for everyone who needed a ride home with me but they were all missing. I eventually found my sister in the chalet bar and asked her if she had seen our niece and her friend. She said she saw them once standing next to a cross country trail entrance on a run called Moonshine. This was bad. If they had gone down the run, the girls would be somewhere in the dark woods surrounding the mountain.
I hurried to the front desk, my sister in tow and told the owner I had to go back up the mountain. My sister asked me to wait for her but I was impatient and skied to the chairlift before she ever got out of the chalet. Now the mountain didn't seem so fun. It was a cold, barren place with a touch of danger. The resort that seemed so familiar to me was changing unpleasantly. The lift operators had been warned of my coming and were ready to let me on. They may not have known my name but we had talked casually through the night each time I used the lift. They too seemed worried. They let me know the ski patrol would be beginning their last check of the runs in a few minutes. As I let the chair catch me behind the legs and lift me into the air, I waved to them and held on to the chair support. There were no people ahead of me in the chairs and I never saw my sister reach the lift before I got too far away to see the base of the hill in the falling snow. A movie about a Bigfoot attacking a ski resort (1977 TV Movie “Snow Beast”) played in my mind when I rode up the trails, a stupid movie so fake it should not have bothered me but I rose up the mountain and I grew frightened, half expecting a Bigfoot to reach up out of the woods and snatch me off the lift.
The bald top of the mountain came into view and by the time I skied off the lift at the top, I was both worried and paranoid. I felt like I was being watched and that to fall or make noise would be a fatal mistake. I poled across the top of the mountain to the entrance of the trail Moonshine. I was completely alone. I looked into the dark entrance of the trail and saw a reflection, a light from further down past a corner. Making as little noise as possible, I skied to the first corner and followed the turn, taking care not to fall. The next corner had a single light on a pole, casting dark shadows at the entrance to the two trails I had come to check. One of the trails was three miles long. The other was 5 miles long. With the fresh snow, I thought if anyone had taken the trails, I could see their tracks and alert the ski patrol to where they were possibly lost in the woods. To say I was frightened was an understatement. I was terrified yet I had no reason to feel like I was being watched or threatened. I had experienced danger in the service but this was nothing like that, it was visceral.
I came to a stop at the lone light and looked at the dark trail entrance. The one to the west had no tracks leading to it. I poled to the next entrance and looked down at the snow. Two sets of tracks crossed the manila rope used to block the entrance of the 5 mile long trail. The tracks were covered with about a quarter inch of fresh snow. Whoever had made these had crossed the rope within the last hour or two. I stared into the darkness and tried to decide what I had to do but I already knew the answer – I had to go after them. Even if they chose not to go down the cross country trail, the only way off that trail once you pass the ropes was an expert run that was a chute dropping rapidly to rejoin Moonshine about 200 yards from where I stood. The name of that short trail – The Devil's Run.
I looked back at the trail hoping for a ski patrol person to wave down but I was alone. I started to enter the run but just couldn't seem to cross the rope. I know it was fear that stopped me but I had no obvious reason to fear. I was an expert skier. I knew the trails. So gritting my teeth, I worked my way on to the trail but could not get myself to go into the dark. I turned away and felt shame as the fear grew more intense and made me stop in my tracks. Looking around once more, I confirmed I was still alone. Then almost as if a casual act, I twisted and then shouted my niece's name into the darkness. Immediately two children's voices came from the woods. They screamed in terror, one of them shouting that it was killing them. As the screaming continued I stood there in shock, unable to breath or move. As quickly as they had come, the screams stopped but I thought I could hear whimpering just over the sound of the trees rustling in the wind. I must have shouted incoherently and moved before my mind began to fully function. I realized I was turned and facing the woods, pointing forward before my mind once again screamed for me to stop. There was something wrong with this situation but I was at a loss for understanding any of it. I just knew I was going into the dark and I would be alone to face whatever was happening to those children. Regretfully, forlornly, I looked back up the trail and with relief, saw a ski patrol coming my way. The whimpering stopped.
When he came to a stop next to me, I rapidly told him what was happening but he had an odd look on his face. It seemed like he thought I was lying to him so I told him I was going down the trail. Anger had defeated the fear that held me before I could go. He stopped me and entered the trail, telling me we would meet at the exit a few hundred yards away. I turned and started to ski but within seconds the man went out of the trail exit without stopping. I worked hard to catch up to him and finally caught him at the base of the mountain near the chair lift. I grabbed his arm and stopped the ski patrol, demanding to know what had happened. He said, 'Nothing was in the woods, just go home!' We argued for a few minutes, me saying there were children up there. Him telling me to just go home. Finally I pulled up the chairlift to get on for a ride back up the mountain. The ski patrol yelled at the lift operator to shut it down. The argument got worse and there was almost a fight when I saw my sister coming down the Moonshine with another member of the patrol. I poled to her but before I could say anything she said they had heard children crying. The ski patrol with her had made my sister come down the mountain without entering the woods. The argument continued at the chairlift for a few more minutes before I realized I could get my friend to let me back up the mountain.
I hurried to the chalet where my niece and her friend were waiting. I charged in to find the owner. He was at the front desk and I quickly told him what happened. My sister joined me as I spoke, confirming the screams of the children. His reaction as I talked was odd, as if he'd heard this before. When I asked to be let back up the hill, he told me, no, that it was not something to concern myself over and to think of it as just 'ghosts'. By now, most of the members of the ski patrol were standing behind us. I suspected they were there to keep me from going back up that hill when they moved in front of the door. We all took our ski boots off and I took our sister, niece and her friend to the car. I did not look back to see if anyone was watching us depart. I was quiet. None of this made sense. My favorite place to ski was tainted and I was determined to come back and look down that trail.
The drive to Stacy (Minnesota) where I dropped off my niece was silent. My sister and I had nothing to say and my niece thought we were mad at her. I did have enough voice to tell her something had happened and I did not want to talk about it. Once they were out of the car, I took the back road to Wyoming. I headed home down a road with few houses. A mile out of Wyoming, I began to feel the fear again only this time it was worse. I looked in the rear view mirror and I saw nothing, no lights of the farm we passed, just an impenetrable darkness. The side view mirrors were the same. As the fear grew, my foot lightened on the accelerator and the car slowed. I could feel the hair on my head pushing against my hat and with amazement I realized that tears were flowing down my cheeks. I looked at my sister and I realized she was crying too. When I looked to the rear view mirror again, without knowing why I did it but I knocked the mirror askew with my right hand. I asked her to look behind the car and tell me what she saw. Slowly she turned and gasped then spun forward and sunk in the seat. She managed to tell me to keep driving. The car had slowed to ten miles an hour. I sped up and tried my best to drive under these circumstances.
After about a half mile, as we passed a farmhouse, the feeling went away as if a person had just switched off a light. We drove the rest of the way home without incident. I asked what she saw and my sister said she saw death was behind us and refused to ever talk about it again. A few days later I returned to the ship. A few years later I was involved in an explosion that took away any skiing for the rest of my life. I never went back to that resort. I never saw the owner again. A few years ago someone finally persuaded me to tell my story and when it was done, he said he was going skiing at that resort in a few days and would ask about ghosts. When he returned he said that there are more people that experienced the same thing we faced that night.
Occasionally I go ghost hunting but I will never go to the resort for personal reasons. I finally asked my sister a year ago what she saw that night. I thought the distance of time would lessen the impact of the event but she is still haunted by it. She told me something huge was sitting in the rear seat. She said it was a huge black shadow with red eyes. I'm left with the same question each time I think about that trip. Who were the children in the woods? (I looked for old murder reports but never found any.) What was killing them? What was in the car that night? My sister felt we would have just disappeared if that thing had wanted us to. Until I die, I will not forget those screams.”
